Hi All. I found the below while searching for races and found it very interesting. I think we are all survivors in some fashion or form and I just thought I would share:
http://www.survivorstride.com/
The weekend of October 11-12, from dawn to dusk both days, Survivor Stride USA, a nationwide movement and walking and running event, thousands will be celebrating survival by "striding like there's no tomorrow." Survivor Stride USA, was not only created for all people to celebrate survival, but to celebrate a new beginning as well. We know that when you didn't think you were going to make it, putting one foot in front of the other took more strength and courage than you thought you had in you...but you did it!
If you're reading this, you've probably survived one of life's many challenges, you know someone who has or you know someone who is currently trying to survive. Whether it was a life-changing experience such as fighting for our country, abuse, a divorce, or a life-threatening disease such as heart disease, cancer, depression, alcohol/drug addiction, a brain aneurysm or diabetes...IT'S ALL ABOUT SURVIVAL.
We're not just about SURVIVING. We're about living and learning with compassion, passion and purpose. It's what makes us tick. Our vision was to give all SURVIVORS a way to come together to empower themselves. Our vision has become a reality. So come on...empower yourself. We're asking you to support Survivor Stride USA, not only by participating, but by emailing everyone you know to tell them about this super national event. Whether you participate in another event that weekend, you walk or run in your home, your gym or a course of your choosing, wear your Survivor Stride USA T-shirt with pride. The fee includes a commemorative Survivor Stride USA T-shirt and shipping and handling, which will be mailed to all entrants who register before September 25. Net proceeds will go towards many great causes such as heart disease research, cancer research, diabetes research, drug/alcohol addiction research, abuse prevention research, or whatever cause you designate. Just type in your cause in the specified area when you register at www.active.com.
